#9184: Allow the use of Python 3 when building GHC -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Reporter: aspidites | Owner: monoidal Type: feature | Status: patch request | Milestone: Priority: normal | Version: 7.8.2 Component: Build | Keywords: python System | Architecture: Unknown/Multiple Resolution: | Difficulty: Easy (less than 1 Operating System: | hour) Unknown/Multiple | Blocked By: Type of failure: | Related Tickets: None/Unknown | Test Case: | Blocking: | Differential Revisions: Phab:D233 | -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Comment (by aspidites): Sorry about the delay. I replied inline while at work, but the email got kicked back because I wasn't signed in. I had this mostly done, but recently fried the motherboard on my home machine. I also was apparently foolish in that while I had changes committed locally, I didn't push them. Sorry about that. What I did find was that forsaking python 2.5 made the necessary changes rather trivial, but in my second stab at it, I was trying to preserve python 2.5 support. While the changes were trivial, there was a lot of mechanical changes that had me chasing my tail. In any case, I'm glad someone else picked up the ball on this, and apologize again for my lack of communication. I seem to be losing track of time in more than one place. -- Ticket URL: http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/9184#comment:9 GHC http://www.haskell.org/ghc/ The Glasgow Haskell Compiler
